DECEMBER 2024: My novel CATHEDRAL is available in bookshops in the UK and the USA and from online retailers internationally. See the "Books" page on this website for reviews and more details.

My script FUZE - an action movie/thriller for director David Mackenzie - starring Theo James, Aaron Taylor Johnson and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, is in the editing phase.

For the same Greek team that made last year's release INSIDE starring Willem Dafoe I have written YUGOSLOVE - a road movie following a couple journeying around the countries of the former Yugoslavia. We are heading slowly towards casting/financing.

LIMONOV - THE BALLAD (I co-wrote the screenplay with Pawel Pawlikowski and the film's director Kirill Serebrennikov) premiered in Competition in Cannes.

I am working on a new screenplay for producer David Kosse at Rockwood Pictures - details to follow.

My last new novel, GHOSTS. has failed to find a publisher, which is very disappointing. Meanwhile I've started work on a further novel, set in the 17th Century Ottoman Empire. It should take some years to write, I fear.
